Thank you. And there we have it (again):
Exactly *none* of the sources that you cited and quoted corroborates your
claim that “Physicists […] say [that] *light* *is* a quantum field.”
(emphasis mine) Not even one. It is not verbatim in any quotation, and it
cannot reasonably be concluded from any combination of statements from the
quotations.
[What can be concluded from them is (what I already knew): Light
(like every electrostatic, electrodynamic and magnetic phenomenon)
can be understood as an excitation of the electromagnetic field,
and that photons are the quanta (elementary excitations) of that
field; they are “field quanta”.]
You have completely misunderstood what you have read (e.g. reading “quantum
field” where it is written “field quantum”); assuming that you really have
read it. That does not surprise me.
I strongly suggest that you start with the basics first:
